"What?" Lin Xin and Wang Chong were a little puzzled.
"My kung fu has a strong sensory ability..." Xiao Lingling swallowed her saliva, "The woman's internal energy... is at least a hundred times that of the three of us combined!!"
Wang Chong gasped.
Lin Xin's face also changed a little.
"This is not where we can come. Go!"
"kindness!"
The three left quickly. Walking towards the direction where the stone house was getting shorter and shorter, and passing through the center of the town, they saw the huge stone tablet stuck upside down on the ground, densely written on it.
Occasionally, a few people stayed in front of him to watch, and then left in a hurry.
The three stepped forward to observe.
I saw a map of the entire town densely drawn on it.
The map is a standard square, with a two-story stone house on the left, which gets shorter as you go to the right, and the farther you are from the river. There are also several small circles on the side, some are marked with the words market, and some are standard miscellaneous hall branches.
Below is the daily schedule.
There is a Dharma meeting every other month, and the brothers and sisters who are in the period of refining Qi will teach the Dharma to solve doubts.
There is also a place marked with the words Qihuangshou, which is obviously a place for medical care.
In addition, there are fields, vegetable fields, and woodlands for firewood. They are all in the forest near the town, a bit far away.
The characters above are all written in traditional Chinese, and it seems that they are not commonly used characters, and Lin Xin also doesn't know them. Fortunately, Xiao Lingling has a good foundation, so she recited to the two of them.
When the three of them looked at the stele, Xiao Lingling's chanting also attracted two newcomers who also seemed to be newcomers. However, the two had no intention of communicating with them. After listening to the recitation, they left directly.
"Go to the worst stone house first." Lin Xin suggested with a steady personality.
Neither of them objected.
He didn't take a few steps with the bag in hand, when he met a group of five people walking towards them.
The woman in the front was holding a rough epee upside down, staring at the three of them with a gloomy expression.
"Rookie, it really is!"
The woman's bangs were hanging down to cover the right side of her face, and she was dressed in a tight gray and black silk dress, looking like a female ninja.
The rest of the people who were with her were also in similar attire. Among them were men and women, and they all looked at the three of them as if they were looking at little sheep.
"Hand over all the rations." The epee woman's sword tip drooped and knocked on the ground.
The faces of Lin Xin and the others tightened.
"Why should we give you something?" Wang Chong said without distraction.
"If you can beat us, you can go, but if you can't beat us, stay." The epee woman said lightly.
"Aren't you afraid of door rules?!" Wang Chong was visibly panicked.
Xiao Lingling's face turned pale, obviously, the two of them hadn't experienced much actual combat.
"Door rules?" Those people couldn't help laughing.
A man drew his sword.
"There is no rule in the door rules that you can't rob people."
Lin Xin looked around, and the other people around the stele either pretended not to see it, or stood aside to watch the excitement.
A white-clothed man dressed as a rich man came out from the other side of the path with several people. Seeing the scene here, the man sneered and waved a light yellow folding fan in his hand.
"This Zheng Xiuqin is still so good-for-nothing. How good it is to follow Wu Lianda honestly. After five years as a spiritual slave, you can get the right to live in some of the best stone houses. It's better than grabbing new rations here."
"Among the five women that Wu Lianda in the outer district has his eyes on, she is the only one with a strong temper. Otherwise, she wouldn't have supported her until now." Another person shook his head and answered.
"That's right. Let's go, the task is important."
The rich young man put away his folding fan, led a few people past the stone tablet, and walked straight out of the town.
Here, Lin Xin and the three looked at the number of each other, and Xiao Lingling directly sensed that the cultivation bases of these people in front of them were much stronger than the three of them.
Xiao Lingling and the two were unreliable, but she was unwilling to hand over the rations like this, Lin Xinshou slowly touched the hilt of the sword.
"Want to do it?" The woman sneered, "It seems that she is unwilling."
Clang! !
Lin Xin suddenly drew his sword, and a pine needle came out from his hand, drawing three white lights to stab the woman.
Boom!
Just after three o'clock white light floated far away, the woman raised her hand and swept it away with a sword, like a broom sweeping away dust from leaves.
When Lin Xin's internal energy burst out, he was severely interrupted, and the long sword was thrown aside, his chest felt tight, and there seemed to be a twinge of pain in his heart that was fleeting.
The skill gap is too big!
"I'll give you something!" He threw the bag in his hand without hesitation.
The woman took the burden and looked at Xiao Lingling and Wang Chong. The faces of these two people were extremely ugly. After hesitating for a while, they finally threw the burden over.
"It's not bad if you dare to do it on the first level of Gui Yuan Jue." The woman glanced at Lin Xin.
"I just want to test the gap." Lin Xin shook his head, "Are you good here?" He continued to ask.
"Excellent?" The woman laughed dumbly, with a flash of resentment in the corner of her eyes.
"I heard that Sword Valley is divided into inner and outer districts. I am only the 143rd in the outer district, and there are more than 600 people in the entire outer district. Do you think I am good or not?"
She quickly asked her subordinates to take out the things in the bag, checked them, took out a wooden bottle to about two-thirds of it, and put the wooden bottle back.
Then she actually threw the burden back to the three of them.
Lin Xin caught the burden with a snap, and looked at the other party in astonishment. It was only natural for the weak to be preyed on by the strong. He had already admitted his defeat, but what does it mean that the other party threw it back
"Leave a day's rations for you, and go to the outer area to find a stone house to live in." The woman turned and took the people away.
The three of Lin Xin could only stand in place and watch each other leave.
"I'm one hundred and forty-three, Zheng Xiuqin. The three of you are welcome to take revenge on me at any time." The woman actually called out her name loudly.
Lin Xin was expressionless, watching the other party leave completely, while Wang Chong was full of aggrieved face, Xiao Lingling's face was ugly, probably it was the first time for a young lady like her to be bullied so nakedly since she was a child .
"We are too weak." Lin Xin whispered, "Hurry up and find a place to live."
The two of Wang Chong didn't speak. The three of them were all on the first level of Gui Yuan Jue. They had no power to resist Zheng Xiuqin and others who were at least on the second level and possibly the third level.
Leaving the stone tablet area in a hurry, the three of them rushed towards the stone house area that was getting shorter and rougher. Gradually, there were more people on the road, and some of them started fighting directly in the open space. A few people were still standing and pointing.
Some gathered together, as if they were waiting for everyone to arrive, ready to do something together.
They also saw that besides Zheng Xiuqin's group, there was another fat black-haired man leading a group of people robbing others.
The rest of the people seemed to be used to it, and the atmosphere in the whole town was weird. From time to time, a bloodstained swordsman could be seen staggering into the stone house. There were also neatly dressed people rushing out of the stone house.
The row number of the stone house also increased from dozens to hundreds, then two hundred, three hundred, four hundred, five hundred. Until the six hundred area.
It is almost the edge of the town, and further out is a lush mountain forest, where crow-like birds can be heard from time to time.
After a lot of difficulty, the three of them found some vacant stone houses at the outermost edge.
The three of them chose three houses next to each other, with three row numbers of 670, 671, and 672.
Lin Xin's room was at No. 670. It was just a small single room less than three meters long and wide.
Except for the bed, there was nothing inside. Lin Xin sighed, carried the rotten bed out and threw it out. Then he broke a large tree branch from the woods and used it as a broom, and swept the stone room.
At this moment, Wang Chong and Xiao Lingling had finished cleaning the stone chamber respectively, and then quickly went back to practice to regulate their internal qi.
After what happened just now, both of them obviously developed a desire for strength, and began to seize every minute and every second.
Lin Xin shook his head, and looked at the cloud-shrouded mountain with burning eyes, where the white stone steps ended. It is also the real inner school of the Pine Forest Sword Sect, and it is the place where formal disciples live.
"Immortal... Longevity? It's amazing..." When he thought that he, an ordinary person, could also have the opportunity to come into contact with this legendary realm, he couldn't help feeling a little hot in his heart.
Although my qualifications are not good, but I have supernatural powers. I can learn anything as long as I succeed once. Maybe I can go to the market here to see if I can find some ways to use my strengths.
Deep in the Pine Forest Sword School Mountains
"The way of evil is rampant, and the appearance of rare treasures in the Yuan Kingdom under the jurisdiction of the Plum Blossom Sect may be an opportunity for us to wait for the righteous way."
Under the gray sky, a young Taoist priest stood on a khaki-colored cliff. He looked at the sky in front of him. There was nothing there, but his expression was extremely respectful.
"Let's put this matter on hold for the time being. Jin Yuzong is doing its best to collect materials and herbs to refine Jinyuhua elixir. You go to Jinyuzong and ask for two elixirs for me." An old voice suddenly came from the air, echoing over the cliff .
"Disciple go immediately." Daoist bowed his head in response.
Outside the deserted gray and white stone wall, a small row of stone houses are lined up, facing the stone wall.
Some of the stone houses were empty, and some of them hung some cloth as shop signs at the door, both in yellow and red, with black traditional characters vaguely on them.
The street was extremely deserted, only occasionally a few people came out of the shop and hurried back to the town, or directly left in the direction of going up the mountain outside the town. There are only ten or twenty people wandering around in the streets.
One of the larger shops had a black flag hanging on a stone pillar outside the door, with a letter: Yuguangzhai.
There are all kinds of messy sundries in the shop, colorful, black, yellow, red and white, all kinds of colors, shells as big as a palm, gourds as tall as half a person, eggs as small as copper coins, and some strange shapes. bronze.
A lot of things couldn't fit in the store, so they were placed directly on the two steps outside the store.
Sitting behind the counter in the store was a middle-aged woman wearing a white hat and a long red skirt, with a waist and legs as thick as a bucket. While eating melon seeds.
"Wu Niang, haven't there been any new talismans recently? Why are they still these old things?" A male swordsman walking around the store asked dissatisfied.
"Recently, there are fewer things sent out from inside. I guess there are not many raw materials this time, so I can't help it." The fat woman said lazily.
"As for the formation, there isn't even a complete evil-slaying formation, only two half-defective ones." Another pair of outer disciples who seemed to be a couple complained.
Just as Wu Niang was about to speak, she saw a young man dressed as a knight-errant walk in from the door of the store.
The man was dressed in a brown-black leather suit. Strangely, there was a belt tied around his waist, with a big skull in the middle. The white skull is hollow, and the surface of the bone seems to be bluish.
"Master Guxinjianzhuang, why are you free to visit my small shop today?" Wu Niang immediately stood up with a smile on her face, and greeted everyone except the counter.
"The Bone Heart Sword ranked tenth in the inner area?!"
When the rest of the people in the nearby shop heard the Bone Heart Sword, their complexions changed slightly, and they gave up an empty seat one after another, fearing that they would not be able to avoid it.
The two who didn't want to cause trouble even left the shop directly and took a step first, Fat Wu Niang didn't care.
